So frustrating

I have this 😞 sometimes with certain themes/triggers I’ll be fine and I can think to myself “why was I worrying so much about that that’s so silly” and it will be in the back of my mind, but say I see a post/situation with the theme/trigger, it will light a fire and appear serious/ something I need to “solve” again and my ocd goes crazy over it again right after thinking that the theme was silly previously

OCD does that a ton. I’m slowly getting over a lot of intrusive thoughts, but they will creep up every so often.

Currently going through this !

Going through this now. ROCD is in the house here, and after struggling for a while wish intrusive thoughts about leaving my partner for no reason, we went on vacation and everything was good, I was over the moon and even cried of happiness. Cut to some days later, I’m in my bedroom and the thought of him having spoken to other girls when we met (we met on Tinder and made things serious after two months) makes me sick and OCD flares up again and again and again. Rationally, I know it’s dumb to see this as a problem (I was literally doing that too, that’s the premise of Tinder), and YET of course OCD latched onto it.

It’s almost like a mind game!!! You tell yourself you feel better and then out of the blue!
